SIDE 1
KING MOONRACER
Come closer. What do you desire?
RUDOLPH
Well, we’re a couple of misfits from Christmastown. And now, we’d like to live here.
KING MOONRACER
No – that would not be possible. You see, this island is for toys alone.
YUKON
How do ya like that – even among misfits, you’re misfits!
KING MOONRACER
Unlike playthings, a living creature cannot hide himself on an island. But perhaps, being misfits yourselves, you might help the toys here.
RUDOLPH
Help them?
KING MOONRACER
Yes. When someday you return to Christmastown, would you tell Santa about our homeless toys? I’m sure he could find little boys and girls who would be happy with them. A toy is never truly happy until it is loved by a child.

SIDE 2
RUDOLPH
Uh - mister - where are we going?
YUKON
You're gonna stay with me. And we'll all be rich. With the biggest silver strike this side of Hudson Bay! Silver…
HERMEY
I thought you wanted gold!
YUKON
I changed my mind. But silver or gold, that's just the first step, my curly-toed compadre.
HERMEY
First step to what?
YUKON
Fame and fortune, as the old song goes.
RUDOLPH
Fame and fortune? What's that?
YUKON
Well, buckaroo, it's anything you want... whatever it is that's waiting for you out there in that great frozen beyond!
RUDOLPH
But I don't know what's waiting for me! Or what I want!
YUKON
You will soon enough... in the meantime, the old song could provide us all some inspire-a-shun… And it goes something like this...
